The Travelling Public to Blame

Perhaps collisions at sea between great
steamships will become entirely impos-
sible some day; but it will not be until
the travelling public gets over its present
hurry If steamships came to a full stop
the moment the fog settled down on them,
or Just as soon as another fog horn than
their own was heard, there would not be
any serious chance of their coming to-
gether- BY code of signals under such
circumstances one vessel might even adj
vance slowly while the other stood ready
to back, until it was certain that they had
passed each other. But this would be
slow work, and the growing of the pas
sengers at the delay would probably
drive the commander to suicide or yio-
lcnce. No. he public itself is not yet
quite willing 10 travel safely.-New York

BILE evidences should satisfy all laudable enterpri-

all classes. When one house tells you that lodi

Average Product and Condition
oniciaI Report OF the Ohio
State Board OF Agricnl-
ture.

The following report representing the
condition Of crops and stock by percent
age, compared with full averaged con-
dition, and average product In bushels
per acre, estimated from actual thresh-
ing reported from every county In the
State, is based on returns received from
the regular township correspondents up
to October 8:
Wheat-Acres harvested, 2,606, ,85s;
average product per acre, 1871 bushels

quality compared with q full average,

62. potatoes S5, tobacco SO; pastures,
condition SO; apples, probable total crop
10; timothy hay, yield So, quality 100.
Hogs, condition 68; per cent. Of herds
attacked by disease, 2; loss by disease
since May, ! per cent.
The above estimates are based on the
returns from about 1000 township crop
correspondents evenly distributed
through every county in the State. The
acreage Of wheat ffom the official re-
turns from county auditors shows 2, $685.
S58 acres returned by assessors. Our
estimate made October l, 1885, OF acres
sown was 2,676,S36. Threshers' reports
show the average product per acre for
1887 to be 1871 bushels. The average of
1886 was 1872 bushels. The probable
total product for 1887 is SO, 723, ,480
bushels. That of 1887 as shown by the
Ohio October report was 40,566, 1858
bushels, showing shortage this year
of 4, 1852, ,188 bushels. The quality of the
wheat is usually good, only few coun-
ties reporting berry light. This esti-
mate Of condition of the corn crop
shows corn to have been severly injured
by the long-continued drouth. The
quality, 80 per cent. Is probably high.
Husking for feeding shows, in bottom
lands, generally, the ears to be uneven
ly developed and poorly filled out ut the
tips, and the grains short but sound.
1t is believed that when husked the
crop will fall below the estimate of 65
per cent. In some districts favored by
timely showers the quality Is good and
q fair crop will there be gathered. AS
foretold in our August report, there has
been great falling off In the potato
crop, showing now only 35 per cent. of
an average crop. No rot has been re-
ported. Since August estimate apples
have mostly dropped of, so that there
is only 10 per cent. Of an average left
These are defective.
The season has been so favorable for
harvesting the grain and hay that these
crops have gone into the barns or to the
market in prime condition. Notwith-
standing the short supply of pasture
and water, all kinds of stock are in fair
condition. Hogs are especially free
from disease.
